This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit endtimes.substack.comThis week, I want to share with you some insights on how to pray. Knowing exactly how to pray can be difficult and confusing, but the Bible provides specific guidance in Matthew 6.Look What God Has DoneInspired by real praise reports from the Tipping Point community, these testimonies celebrate God’s faithfulness, answered prayers, and the miracles He is still doing today. We pray they encourage your faith and remind you that God is still at work.Encouragement While We WaitBy Kari Smalley Gibson, TP Community StorytellerWaiting is hard.Throughout my life, I haven’t always been the best at waiting—whether it’s for prayers to be answered, breakthroughs to finally come, or long-awaited dreams to unfold. If I’m honest, I often want God to move on my timeline. Can anyone else relate?But waiting is something every follower of Jesus understands deeply. In many ways, all of us are waiting. Waiting for healing. Waiting for restoration. Waiting for prodigal children to come home. Waiting for answers. And ultimately, waiting for Jesus to return.1 Thessalonians 4:16–18 (NLT) says,“For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout… Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air… So encourage each other with these words.”I love that last part: encourage each other with these words.That’s exactly what makes the Tipping Point Community so special.Recently, we received a heartfelt prayer request from grandparents carrying a deep burden for the salvation of their children and grandchildren. You could feel the urgency in every word they wrote. And honestly, I think many families can relate to that same ache right now.Week after week, our prayer team receives requests from people crying out for restored marriages, healing, salvation, freedom from addiction, prodigal children, and renewed hope. Pastor Jimmy often reminds us we are living in the “end of the end,” and you can feel that urgency drawing people closer to prayer and to one another.One of the most beautiful things I’ve witnessed in our TP Community is how quickly people rally around someone who is hurting. Recently, I saw hundreds of comments flooding a single post—people praying, sharing Scripture, and offering encouragement to someone walking through pain. Even a simple heart or kind comment can remind someone they are not alone.We’re still here… which means God still has work for us to do.So while we wait for His return, let’s keep encouraging one another, lifting each other up, and pointing people back to Jesus.“And let us not neglect our meeting together… but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.” Hebrews 10:25 (NLT)Please share your prayer request with our prayer team at [email protected]. We would also love the opportunity to celebrate your miracle testimonies and highlight stories within our TP Community to encourage and uplift others.
